The vessel remained docked in Tilbury on Monday (19 December) after its three-day Festive Market Getaway cruise on Sunday (18 December) was cancelled due to a fault with the ship’s onboard lifeboat station.
Ambience will arrive at a ship repair yard in Bremerhaven to undergo repair work after the line was unable to address the issues in port.
As a result, the vessel’s scheduled 15-night Christmas and New Year Canary Islands cruise, due to sail on Wednesday (21 December) with 1,400 guests, has been cancelled.
